Put in your claim amount and the calculator steps through every statutory band — the Rs 500 floor, then 5%, 3.5%, 2%, 1.5% and 1% on the slices above Rs 25,000 — to return the precise filing fee and a line-by-line working you can take to the registry.

Statutory fee structure — Section 68
The bands below are taken directly from Section 68 of the Muluki Civil Procedure Code 2074. Every claim clears the Rs 500 floor first, and each higher band then applies only to the portion of the claim that lands inside it.
| Claim range (Rs.) | Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 25,000 | Rs. 500 (flat) |
| 25,001 – 50,000 | 5% of this band |
| 50,001 – 1,00,000 | 3.5% of this band |
| 1,00,001 – 5,00,000 | 2% of this band |
| 5,00,001 – 25,00,000 | 1.5% of this band |
| Above 25,00,000 | 1% of this band |
How this calculator works
A civil suit cannot reach the bench until it has cleared the registry, and the registry will not stamp a plaint that has not paid the correct court fee. This tool answers that question in seconds — key in the claim amount and it returns the statutory figure alongside the slab arithmetic behind it, so there is nothing left to guess when you print the receipt.
